  9. Super macro, EG. I wonder if my Peonys are blooming yet. I tried to look but it is 11PM--I'll wait 'til morning.
    You must have an excellent camera---well it is you too and I remember what camera you have. I think I am just rambling and should go to bed. 'Night. MB

  17. Thank goodness! I've seen peonies not bloom because of lack of ants. I like the little hairs on the ant's bottoms, too. lol
